back in the day when women were girls

When I was a child Princes and knights rescued girls And women who were also called girls Back in the day Boys were boys Men were men Girls were girls Women were girls too Girls waited for big brave men to save them They rode up on horses and carried swords They fought battles and slashed up dragons They saved us girls In the seventies old girls became women I blame Helen Reddy and her song “I am Woman” Princes and knights could finally go drink at a bar Women could not save themselves
